🧱 Hennesee Dam: Engineering Meets Panorama The Hennesee Dam is an important structure for water regulation, but also a fantastic destination for your hike. A popular hiking trail runs across the imposing dam, serving as a natural skywalk. From the dam crest, you can enjoy an unobstructed panoramic view of the deep blue Hennesee. You can also reach the upper exit of the challenging "Sky Stairway" here.
